and save you money during your trip.

to paddle boarding and fishing. For those who prefer outside of the water activities there are ATV and horseback riding tours of the
rainforest and island. You never know what you might see and discover while here on St. Croix.

Visiting St. Croix Older Children

For families visiting St. Croix with older children, there are opportunities to learn to sail, rent wave runners and explore the island
in multiple different ways. For those with smaller children, be sure to ask your hotel or resort what activities they have with infant
and toddler free or discounted admission. More often than not, hotels offer activities for children on-site such as scavenger hunts,
games, contests, and movies, etc. There might even be an opportunity for you and your spouse to have a dinner alone and reflect on
your trip together—check out the local St. Croix babysitting and nanny listings.

Night Activities with Family

One of the most exciting adventures for both young and old is available is at night! St. Croix not only has one, but two bioluminescent
bays located at the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve and Altona Lagoon. The water when disturbed in
these areas of St. Croix appears to glow like shooting stars due to bioluminescent microorganisms called dinoflagellates. These areas
are very precious and protected environments so be sure to do your part in preserving their natural state. Not wearing sunscreen or
bug spray and respecting the natural habitat is a great place to start!
